NEED SOME COMMON SENSE DIVORCE ADVICE?

"This is the most helpful book. I am not to the divorce stage yet, but I am separating from my husband. And this book has given me a wealth of needed information. And food for thought. I don't want to fight with my husband and I want to do what is best for my kids and protect myself.
